That sucks, another tough loss for Jeffries. Once he lost a point directly after the first low blow, I knew he was going to get DQ'd. Started off slow, but was catching up to Frazier quick.
Re: HW Season Week 18 fights 31-34(World Titles)
What an odd outcome on the Tyson Ali affair. Tyson literally wins the boxing match on the judges cards, but gets counted out...and hits the deck a few times along the way. And when Tyson is at his freshest and most dangerous, Ali dominated in the early going.
All counter intuitive as far as I'm concerned. You can't make this shyt up...but you can simulate it.

Though I was initially disappointed in the draw with Gene, the more I think about it, I find it appropriate. Arguably the two best tacticians in Heavyweight history, how could it not be a draw?
